Food awareness

Dayboro SS supports students diagnosed with anaphylaxis or at risk of anaphylaxis and uses a range of strategies to reduce allergens in school.  

We have one student in Year 5 and one student in Year 6 with NUT allergy and ask parents to refrain from sending any nut containing products in lunchboxes. 

This is not a ban, but a strategy in place to reduce the chance of a student at risk of anaphylaxis coming into contact with their allergen.  Other strategies include handwashing before and after meals, eating provided lunches (no sharing) and staff education. 

Staff participated in Anaphylaxis on-line and practical training this week hosted by Nikki Smith (EQ School nurse).
